You go into a restaurant for a nice dinner with your husband, your friend and her friend (who you’ve never met before.) You share the pleasantries that start any meal like “what looks good” and “should we get an appetizer.” The server comes takes your drink order and comes back to tell you the specials. And then it …

Crohn’s Disease
Taking Steps
Let me apologize for being a bit distracted this week and not getting a food blog up. I signed up this week to “Take Steps” with the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation at the end of April. It is a small walk in Fort Wayne, Indiana but it is a huge step for me. I wanted …
The Best Worst Christmas
The year was 1984 and the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas” was on the radio. We were at a toll booth on our way to the airport and all I wanted was to be back at home. We weren’t on our way to a fabulous holiday vacation or off to see family. We were …
It’s a Miracle
I’m fine but I’m whipped. I am so lucky that I have friends who care so much about me that they realize I’m sick when my blog and Facebook posts decrease. So, because I can’t keep up with the emails/messages….my Crohn’s is having a bit of a flare right now and decided to bring along …
I Will Write 500 Blogs. I Will Write 500 More.
500. One day you are sitting on your favorite corner spot on the couch and your spouse says, “You should start a blog. People are always talking to you about food and this would be a great way for you to share everything you have learned. Make it funny and be true to yourself. Add …

This last little medical blip makes me feel like humpty dumpty. It is truly like I fell off a wall. My doctors are in the …
The Birthday Blog #46
Sigh. I made it. My heart feels so happy as I close out my 45th year. Like every year of life, I can find lows and highs. There are moments that I wouldn’t mind erasing and there are others that I want tattooed on my memory. I have shed a few tears and have had …
Stuck in the Honey Tree
I woke up this morning knowing that I wanted to write a post but I truthfully had no desire to write about food. I was SUPPOSED to be writing today about two events that I had scheduled to go to in Chicago, Mod Mex (A Beyond Chicago Gourmet Event) and Oyster Fest (by Shaw’s Crah …
A Piñata, Patience and Pound Cake
I have not written a post for over a week. I have to admit, I haven’t written because I’ve been kind of angry. I don’t feel well….again. It is rare that I have a pity party that lasts more than a day but this one I’ve had trouble shaking. Just as my energy started to …
50 Shades of Gray’s Anatomy
I woke up just lying there. My hand searched for my underpants and I was still bewildered as to what had happened. I called over and over for my husband. He arrived by my side with tears shining in his beautiful blue eyes, kissed my lips and told me he loved me. Do you think …
